Secrets are burning out of control

After she broke his heart in college, Faye Walker is the last person fire chief Reese Bristow ever expected to see again, especially as his new EMT. But that’s not Reese’s only surprise. Faye has an eight-year-old son, Elliott, whose counseling at The Lemonade Stand shelter is her first priority.

It’s nearly impossible to accept that she had a child with another man—and married that man—right after their breakup. Trusting Faye won’t be easy. Especially when she reveals a secret about the boy that might tear them apart for good.

Review:

What an emotional ride!

All three of the main characters here–Faye, Reese, and Elliott, Faye’s eight-year-old son–have been through so much before the story even begins. Watching them deal with the implications of the past, not to mention the new tension and drama that their present brings them, makes for a truly engrossing read. I literally couldn’t put this one down until I’d seen them get to their HEA!

My only real…issue? I don’t want to say “complaint” because it’s definitely not that strong…is that their issues were so real and so all-encompassing that the romance part of the book is really only the last less than ten percent of it. There’s angst galore throughout, of course, given their pasts and the secrets that they’ve both been keeping for so long, but seeing Faye and Reese together doesn’t really happen until the very end, and when it does, it comes really quickly. I would love to see more of them (and Elliott!) as they navigate through the no-doubt not-always-smooth waters that lay ahead for them.

So hopefully they’ll make some longish appearances in future series books? 🙂

The Fireman’s Son, like the other books in this series that I’ve read so far, would work fine as a standalone. Other series characters play a role here, but if you haven’t read their stories (yet!) you’ll do just fine.

Rating: 4 stars / A-
